Good to Know:
• Princeton uses the term "concentration" for major; therefore a student majoring in CS is a CS "concentrator." It is written as major here for ease of comparison purposes.
• Students are accepted into the university, not a specific major, and then declare CS as a major in spring of Freshman year, with advisor approval.
